Sardinia
Sardinia is the second largest island of Italy and in the Mediterranean Sea, with a surface of 23,821 km². It is situated between 38° 51' and 41° 15' latitude north and 8° 8' and 9° 50' east longitude.
The coasts of Sardinia (1,849 km long) are generally high and rocky, rectilinear for kilometers, they are often articulated in promontories, with ample and deep bays and inlets surrounded by smaller isles.
The climate is typical of the Mediterranean. The weather is clear. During the year approximately 300 days are sunny and the few others are rainy, with a major concentration of rainfall in the winter and autumn, some heavy showers in the spring, and snowfalls on the highest massifs and highlands. The mistral is the dominant wind, fresh, strong, and usually dry and cold, blowing from the northwest throughout the year, but most frequently in winter and spring.
The island has all the requisites of paradise: ancient mysteries, a spectacular coastline, rugged mountains, great beaches with clean water, birds and animals, fragrant herbs, full-bodied red wines and refreshing light whites, suckling pig, bottarga (the pressed and dried roe of gray mullet), lobster, few people (and those few quite discreet), archeology galore, human-scale museums and plenty of folklore. It is also conveniently situated in the geographic center of the Mediterranean, less than an hour's flight from Rome.
